§ Sin JOHN ROLLESTON (Leicester)To ask the Secretary of State for India whether he will now consider the advisability of imposing Excise duties on other goods than cotton goods entering India, and of removing the protective effect of the import duties in the case of other British goods as well as cotton goods.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton.) As I stated in my answer to a similar Question asked by my hon. friend on the 13th March, 1902, I can hold out no hope of imposing such Excise duties as are suggested.
